Daddy was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved his Lord and his church family. He had the most beautiful smile and was known for his warm hugs and “sugar” as he called his sweet kisses. He was a hard worker that took care of his family. He spent most of his time piddling around at home, visiting friends, and watching his grandkids play ball. Nothing made him happier than having all of them around him. Even in his last days his eyes lit up from the sounds of their voices. He also had a very special friend, Dennis Wilson, who led him back to God many years ago. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
